We developed a miniaturized conductance catheter for in situ rat left ventricular (LV) volumetry. After the validation study of the conductance volumetry in 11 rats, we characterized the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (ESPVR) in 24 sinoaortic-denervated, vagotomized and urethan-anesthetized rats. Stroke volume (SV) measured with the conductance catheter correlated closely with that measured by electromagnetic flowmetry (r > 0.95). No significant difference was found between the in situ LV end-diastolic volumes measured by conductance volumetry and postmortem morphometry; a linear regression analysis indicated that the correlation coefficient was 0.934, that the slope was not significantly different from 1, and that the intercept was not significantly different from 0. During cardiac sympathotonic conditions, the ESPVR was curvilinear. The estimated slope of ESPVR (end-systolic elastance, Ees) by quadratic curve fitting at end-systolic pressure of 100 mmHg was 2,647 ± 846 mmHg/ml. Bilateral cervical and stellate ganglionectomy depressed contractility and made the ESPVR linear; a quadratic equation did not improve the fit. Ees was 946 ± 55 mmHg/ml with the volume-axis (V0) intercept of 0.076 ± 0.007 ml. Administration of propranolol (1 mg/kg) further reduced Ees (573 ± 61 mmHg/ml, P < 0.001) and increased V0 slightly (0.091 ± 0.011 ml). We conclude that the conductance catheter method is useful for the assessment of the ESPVR of the in situ rat left ventricle and that the ESPVR displays contractility-dependent curvilinearity.
